Further Information
Zanzibar is a semi autonomous Tanzanian archipelago in the Indian Ocean, made up of many small islands and two major ones Unguja (commonly called Zanzibar Island) and Pemba. Its capital, Zanzibar City, is home to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its narrow alleys, coral stone buildings, and rich blend of Arab, Persian, Indian, and African influences. Historically a major hub in the spice trade, Zanzibar is still famous for producing cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, coconut, and black pepper, earning it the nickname "The Spice Islands." The region's economy today is driven by spices, raffia, and a rapidly growing tourism sector, which expanded from about 19,000 visitors in 1985 to over 376,000 by 2016. Its unique wildlife including the Zanzibar red colobus and the rare Zanzibar servaline genet along with its marine ecosystems, contribute to both ecological importance and environmental pressures, especially from tourism and climate related sea level rise.
